Letters to the editor: Protest should have limits

The protests hurt unions’ cause. Prior to Gov. Rick Snyder”s signing of the right-to-work bill, the unions were holding civil disobedience classes for their members.

It was disgusting that union leaders would promote such actions, and that certain elected officials would support them. The right to protest is one of the many freedoms we enjoy in our country, but it must be done within the limits of the law. Destroying personal property and threatening to kill are not acceptable.

Our culture has changed, and forced unionism has put Michigan at an enormous disadvantage when compared to right-to-work states. Statistics reveal that while right-to-work states have been gaining jobs, Michigan has continued to lose them.

Based on the success of the right-to-work law in 23 other states, it has become clear that the right-to-work law will be morally and economically good for Michigan.
